Iberia

Not to be confused with the Kingdom of Iberia in the Caucasus or the Iberian Peninsula.

Iberia was a confederation of Spanish tribes located in western Hispania (in all of Portugal in addition to the Galicia region of northwestern Spain). Iberia was originally a client state of Lepidus' Rome, but Octavian allied with them and helped to overthrow Marcus Aemilius Lepidus.

History
Iberia was named after the Iberian Peninsula on which it was located, and it was a confederation of several tribes in western Hispania such as the Lusitani, Gallaeci, Celtici, and Conii. Iberia was made a client state of the Roman Republic, and after the Second Triumvirate was formed in 42 BC, Iberia was given to Lepidus' Rome as a client state. With Octavian's help Iberia became an independent state and conquered much of Spain from the Lepidians, but Octavian later grew anxious about their strength. He seized Tingis in Morocco before Iberia could do so, and he had fears that Iberia would attack Roman Spain due to their unreliable attitude. Octavian planned to annex Iberia after taking care of his enemies in the eastern Roman provinces, and Legio II Hispania was redirected to Iberia after the end of the Roman Civil Wars.
